You may wish to look at:
1. AJAX / Redirects - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29 .
2. Async / event-driven programming - http://perl-begin.org/uses/multitasking/ .
3. Sockets / networking (or something filesystem based with locks).
4. Your web-service configuration for mapping a service URL.
